Podcast > Larger than Life > Want

January 20, 2009

We all want our lives to be something great. We want to reach our full potential. Yet, so often, our “wants” get in the way of discovering God’s amazing plan for our lives. 

In this message, Ed Young shows us some powerful, biblical examples of “wants” getting in the way of God’s desire. And through these stories, we see the danger of placing our desires over God’s. In order to get the most out of life, our wants must be in line with God’s wants. And Ed teaches us how fasting is one way to make sure that happens.

Larger than Life

Every day, people everywhere resolve to start over. They promise themselves that they will redo, change, shift, or reorder their way into a better existence. Even if life is good, we say, the possibility always exists that life could be great. And the amazing news is that God wants us to have great lives. In fact, he wants us to live larger than life. But how do we do that?

All too often, we think that living large means adding more and more to our already crowded plates. And so we’re always looking for the next deal, the next relationship, the next fun fix to take us to the next level. But Jesus taught us that living large starts with three small, foundational principles.

And in this 3-part series, Ed Young unpacks the power of what Christ talked about 2000 years ago. And as we learn to embrace these principles, we discover not only how to deepen our relationship with God; we also find the keys to living larger than life.
